DOVER — As investigators scoured the area around Prescott Park and Peirce Island late Friday night attempting to recover a body, police and investigators were also searching an apartment on Mill Street in Dover that could be linked to the disappearance of University of New Hampshire student Elizabeth Marriott.

A special crime scene van and two police cruisers were parked outside a Sawyer Mill apartment Friday just before 10 p.m.

Anthony Hanna, Marriott's uncle, previously told Foster's she was en route to a friend's house on Mill Street after getting out of class at 9 p.m. Tuesday night. Marriott supposedly never arrived.

Police reportedly discovered Marriott's phone sent two more transmissions on Tuesday evening — one at about 9:30 p.m. and another at about 10:10 p.m. The last transmission reached a cell phone tower in Dover.

Witnesses at the scene of the Sawyer Mills apartment Friday night said police had been there for most of the day and had spent time looking around a dumpster in close vicinity to the apartment complex.

Police on scene declined to comment on what they were searching for in the area. Multiple messages left at the Dover Police Department seeking comment were unanswered.
